Feature Request: Expandable Notifications #102

I think MobileNotifier is awesome. One feature I would like to see is the option to expand a notification. In it's current format, MobileNotifier displays a very small portion of notifications, making it very difficult to read some of my notifications that I would prefer to read and dismiss, such as breaking headlines from the CNN news app. I would love it if the notification would expand to display more of the text when I click on the dropdown menu, or if that was an option within the dropdown menu.

Currently planned is that the notification will "scroll" text - like a news ticker.

Personally, I would vote for expanding it upon tap. Scrolling is neat and keeps footprint small... but in situations (like driving) where attention cannot be diverted for long without danger, scrolling makes it pointless to look at all. If I see a blob I tap on, get a quick glace at the whole text at once, and then can decide if I can ignore and let it auto-dismiss or if I need to stop what I'm doing (e.g. pull over) and handle it.

Haha, while I agree either of these would be quite awesome, be careful when you're doing anything with your phone... especially when driving :)
